OOKING
AFETY
• Never heat an unopened food container in
the oven. Pressure build-up may cause
container to burst resulting in serious
personal injury or damage to the appli-
ance.
• Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp
potholders may cause burns from steam.
Dish towels or other substitutes should
never be used as potholders because they
can trail across hot elements and ignite or
get caught on appliance parts.
• Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or
long hanging-sleeved apparel should not
be worn while cooking. Clothing may
ignite and cause burns if garment comes in
contact with heating elements.
• Always place oven racks in the desired
positions while oven is cool. Slide oven
rack out to add or remove food, using dry,
sturdy potholders. Always avoid reaching
into the oven to add or remove food. If a
rack must be moved while hot, use a dry
potholder. Do not let potholder contact
hot element in oven.
• Use care when opening the oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Fol-
low food manufacturer's instructions. If a
plastic frozen food container and/or its
cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately dis-
card the food and its container. The food
could be contaminated.
• Do not allow aluminum foil or meat probe
to contact heating element.
• Always turn off all controls when cooking
is completed.

OTICE AND
ARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65)
requires the Governor of California to pub-
lish a list of substances known to the State of
California to cause cancer or reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn cus-
tomers of potential exposures to such sub-
stances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that when the oven is engaged in the self-
clean cycle, there may be some low-level
exposure to some of the listed substances,
including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized by properly
venting the oven to the outdoors by opening
the windows and/or door in the room where
the appliance is located during the self-clean
cycle.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING
PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the
kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from
the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very
sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released
during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be
harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due
to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be
equally harmful.
